Karah was lucky enough to have her "friends birthday party" at her gymnastics place. Most of her closest friends were able to attend - so she was on cloud nine.
Before her friends arrived, I walked in on a serious conversation between Karah and Bradley. To this day, I don't know WHAT was being discussed (neither one would tell me) but this I do know - it was SERIOUS. It was like they didn't even see me standing there taking a picture of them. Their eyes were fixed on each other and you could cut the tension with a knife. If I had to guess, it probably entailed Karah telling Bradley that this was a big kids party - and Bradley letting her know that he IS a big kid now. It was hilarious. Whatever it was - it blew over and they had a great time together the rest of the time. 
The kids got to do the trampoline, balance beams, vault (complete with foam pit), rope climb, floor exercise, and a little obstacle course they had set up for them. Bryce took some time out and did a little pommel horse demonstration for us. 
It was the typical kid party..... as listed below: 1. Child looking frantically at mother as a mob of children "help" unwrap her gifts. This one was especially painful for the others to violate...it was a princess dress from Grandma.
2. "Help" blowing out the birthday cake. I have always wondered if the helper gets to make a wish, too???
3. A frenzied "assembly line" process of opening gifts wherein the mom is constantly having to remind her child to say "thank you" each time she opened a gift - before it was tossed aside in the frenzy to open the next one.
Her party had it all! It was perfectly imperfect....and we loved every minute of it.
